Publisher's Note

Cynthia Kaplan takes us on a hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking journey through her unique, uncensored world -- her bungled romantic encounters and unsung theatrical experiences; her gadget-obsessed father and her mother, who, if you should want to know, is fine; her pill-popping therapist, eccentric grandmothers, and fearless husband, whom she engages in an ongoing battle over which of them is the most popular person in their apartment; and, of course, her vengeful, power-hungry, one-year-old son.

Kaplan's voice is a lot like the one in our heads -- the one that most of us are only willing to listen to late at night . . . maybe while locked in a closet. What a relief it is that someone finally admits that she is afraid of nearly everything; that she is jealous even of people whose lives are on the verge of collapse; and that she has, at times, tried to pass for a gentile.



Industry reviews
"A fresh voice with a bright future."
Kirkus Reviews  (05/01/2002)

"The book...is quick-witted, neatly written and unapologetically grandiose -- qualities that are necessary to enliven her subject: a very ordinary American life...This theatricality might have been too broad for the page were it not for Kaplan's careful prose and clever characterization of her relatives. As it is, her control over her sentences and her admitted resistance to reality permit her to render weird and rowdy scenarios -- the interior life of a French truffle pig, for instance -- with style, while still seeming to tell the story of her actual life. "
New York Times Book Review - Virginia Heffernan (07/14/2002)
